The How of Happiness

“The how of happiness” a scientific approach for getting the life you want. This book intrigued me from the title. Thinking of what happiness is as a feeling all human kinds seek for, but the way you realize happiness of course differs because different people want different things to make them happy. The idea that Sonja Lyubomirsky presents in this book is that 50 % of our happiness derives from genetics, a 10% is determined from our life circumstances but the remaining 40 % is up to our behavior
The recipe or the strategy for happiness suggested by the author belongs to the positivist psychology and it has similarities with a lot of books in this field.
However like for many other answers in life for happiness too there is no simple and one way to reach but you have to figure out by working with yourself in discovering the purpose of life and your own way do make things work in order that your purpose, work and lifestyle can meet happiness.

  3. Environment, work, family and lifestyle can effect happiness level of a person. Even if you follow the strategies proposed by the author; it is not always in your hands to change the given circumstances.
